Chapter 118: Chapter 29: Initiation
[It’s a bit difficult to get a hundred Hunters to sign together, so my plan is to find three battle group leaders. Li Xinyue, you’ll be responsible for persuading the leader of the Glazed Group, and I’ll handle the other two.]
Recalling Yan Luo’s words, Li Xinyue refocused her attention, took a deep breath, and sent an entry request to the owner of the villa in front of her.
Before this, she had already contacted the leader of the Glazed Group, You Yifeng, intending to discuss matters face-to-face.
Soon enough, the front gate of the villa opened, and Li Xinyue walked along the wave-like paved stone path towards the villa.
[Hello, Miss Li, welcome.]
A humanoid robotic machinery encased in a metallic shell stood at the doorway waiting. It turned slightly to open the door for Li Xinyue.
After changing into slippers at the shoe cabinet area, Li Xinyue followed the robot into the living room.
"Yo, Xinyue, quite a lot has happened to you lately," a middle-aged man leaning on the sofa chuckled teasingly.
Li Xinyue sat down somewhat nervously, looking at You Yifeng, and pursed her lips, "You already know, leader..."
You Yifeng laughed heartily: "You’re a member of my group, how could I not know? The Guild and the police have both sent people to ask me whether you’ve ever voiced anti-United Government sentiments."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinyue relaxed.
Her release from the holding cell meant the leader had not spoken against her.
Realizing the leader was on her side, Li Xinyue spoke directly: "Well... Leader, I came this time to ask your opinion on something—what do you think the chances are of successfully impeaching Daoist Li?"
Even with such shocking words, You Yifeng’s expression barely changed, only slightly retracting his smile.
You Yifeng wore a strange smile, rubbed his chin, and said, "Impeach Daoist Li... Hey, this is surely a strategy from Yan Luo, right?"
"Ah?" Li Xinyue was a bit surprised, "How did you know?"
"I’ve observed Yan Luo; he loves those in-rule struggles. Even the fact you were put in the holding cell only happened after he left, showing how wary Daoist Li is of him."
You Yifeng shook his head with a laugh, "Your past actions... Your mind might be good, but you’ve never shown any familiarity with the ’Hunter’s Rules.’ Coming up with the idea to impeach Daoist Li—it must be from Yan Luo, no one else."
The leader deserves his title, truly brilliant!
Feeling a sense of admiration, Li Xinyue cautiously asked with hope in her eyes: "Then you..."
You Yifeng said openly, "It sounds quite interesting, I’m in!"
Li Xinyue’s heart overflowed with joy, secretly clenching her fists.
With this, a third of the goal was completed!
......
As things unfolded separately, Li Xinyue had successfully persuaded the leader of the Glazed Group to join the impeachment against Daoist Li. On the other side, Yan Luo was also approaching Chen Shan, the leader of the Mountain and River Warband.
"Impeach Daoist Li?"
Chen Shan paused at Yan Luo’s words, looking around to confirm he was indeed at the Hunter’s Guild.
Yan Luo actually dared to speak of impeaching Guild Leader Daoist Li in such a place?
Although the surrounding environment was noisy and Yan Luo’s voice was low, anyone could accidentally overhear it.
Chen Shan was silent for a few seconds, exhaled deeply, put his wine glass aside, and ordered his men to disperse and stand guard around.
Looking into Yan Luo’s eyes, Chen Shan asked word by word: "Why?"
Yan Luo extended two fingers, "First, I have a feud with Daoist Li and want to take revenge on him; second, you should know, most of the Guild consignment materials end up in which family’s hands, and how much profit that family has made."
Hiss!
Chen Shan sharply inhaled in surprise.
He was not shocked by the first half of Yan Luo’s sentence but by the latter half.
The latter part struck straight into his gut.
As a leader of a large Warband, Chen Shan cannot be unaware of Daoist Li using his power as President to transfer most of the Guild’s materials to the backing Spiritual Spring Li Family, and resell them at high prices.
Why could the Fields Clan establish a quick foothold after coming to Crimson No. 2?
Not only due to their manager’s competence but also because many Hunters tacitly understood what Daoist Li was doing.
Why not sell to anyone else? Selling to the Fields Family earns more money!
But, having to make a living in Crimson No.2, even if Daoist Li gets impeached, the next person to take over the Crimson No. 2 Hunter’s Guild would still belong to the Li Family.
If that’s the case, what’s the point of resisting?
"You..."
Chen Shan was about to speak when Yan Luo continued: "I have confidence making sure the Li Family cannot take over the Guild presidency."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shan’s eyes suddenly became sharp, slamming the table forcefully.
"Let’s do it!"
The noise attracted the attention of others around, but they found Chen Shan facing Yan Luo as if engaged in a conversation.
Is Yan Luo’s next Abyss hunt going to be with the Mountain and River Warband?
"Thank you."
Yan Luo directly confirmed Chen Shan’s opinion, nodded to him, and got up to leave.
As he walked, he pondered which battle group leader to invite next to join the impeachment lineup.
Just by claiming ’confidence in preventing Li Family from taking over the Guild presidency,’ he could position other battle group leaders on his side.
It doesn’t matter who takes that position; what matters is that the Li Family doesn’t.
Yan Luo descended via the elevator, unable to think of a suitable candidate for the moment, planning to choose randomly when he spotted Helena Sheffield returning from the Abyss with her team in the lobby.
You’ve been chosen!
Yan Luo walked straight towards Helena, immediately getting noticed by her.
Helena winked at Yan Luo, "What’s up, have you thought it through?"
Yan Luo knew what Helena referred to and shook his head: "I’m looking for you for something else."
"Tch!"
Helena turned her head back with a disinterested wave of her hand, "Not interested."
"Impeach Daoist Li, are you in?"
Yan Luo openly stated this in the public area.
Hunters passing by did not react immediately. After a few seconds, realizing ’Daoist Li’ was the Guild leader’s name, their bodies stiffen, and their stride halted.
Shortly, Yan Luo extended two fingers again, "Currently, I have two battle group leaders on my side, still need one more."
Helena’s eyebrows furrowed, instinctively capturing the unusual implication.
"Who are the two group leaders you have?" Helena swiftly switched to her leader mindset, asking cautiously.
Her status as the leader of the Red Rose Warband isn’t just due to her strength; she brings benefits to her group members.
Usually indulgent but at critical moments, Helena never let emotions sway her mind.
Yan Luo promptly replied, "You Yifeng, Chen Shan."
Others remained unresponsive; Helena raised her eyebrows and laughed, "Bold move! Count me in too!"
The Glazed Group and Mountain and River Warband are both large Warbands. Two group leaders chose Yan Luo’s side, indicating he held considerable chips.
Joining now merely furthers the relentless pursuit of Daoist Li, about to lose his ’President’ hat – a pursuit Helena excels at as a Hunter.
Yan Luo nodded, "There’s no time to lose, let’s initiate the impeachment process against Daoist Li now."
Saying this, he sent messages to Li Xinyue and Chen Shan.
At You Yifeng’s villa, Li Xinyue received a cup of hot tea from the leader’s wife, waiting for results from Yan Luo. When she saw his message, she was dumbfounded.
"What’s up?" You Yifeng glanced at Li Xinyue with lightly arched brows, "Could it be that kid Yan Luo already convinced the other two battle group leaders?"
Li Xinyue looked at You Yifeng in a daze and said, "Yan Luo said... Let you initiate the impeachment process against Daoist Li now."
You Yifeng was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Interesting! Truly amusing!"
He gritted his teeth but not out of anger; it was excitement.
You Yifeng directly opened the Hunter’s Guild’s official website, found the impeachment procedure entrance, entered Daoist Li’s name, and directly [Impeached].
Almost simultaneously, the three group leaders saw the impeachment process passed before them.
At the same moment, Daoist Li also received a message from the Guild headquarters.
"Hah!"
Daoist Li scoffed, slammed a palm heavily on his desk.
"Fine! Come at me! See how you deal with me!"
